Roasted Parmesan Broccoli

Growing up we didn't eat much broccoli. My mother only made it one way and I didn't really care for it. I was surprised as I normally love her cooking. So I am surprised I even like broccoli. Luckily my children love broccoli. But only steamed. I was happy to find this recipe for Roasted Parmesan Broccoli and as the Cookie Rookie says the wheel isn't being reinvented. The dish is simple but fabulous. We paired it with a roasted sweet pepper and boneless pork chop.
